California Employment Development Department (EDD) Kunden-FAQ

If you haven't received your W-2 by the end of January, and your attempts to contact your former employer are unsuccessful, you can contact the California Employment Development Department (EDD). The EDD may be able to provide you with a wage transcript for your tax purposes. They can also guide you on the next steps to take. Alternatively, you can file IRS form 4852 (Substitute for W-2) where you estimate your wages and withholdings based on your final pay stub of the year. Nonetheless, it's important to know that the EDD may levy fines and penalties against employers who do not comply with the provision of W-2 forms to their employees.

We're sorry to hear about this. Issues with reopening an existing unemployment claim might occur due to a number of reasons such as system errors, closures due to returning to work, or an expired claim. The EDD will automatically reopen your claim if you are eligible. However, if you're having trouble, it would be best to directly communicate with the EDD as they will have the accurate and real-time status of your claim. They can guide you accordingly about the necessary steps needed to address your situation.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide a step-by-step guide on how to update your email and password on your EDD account here. However, typically, you would log into your account, navigate to account settings, and find the option to update your email or change your password. If you don't remember your password, there's typically a 'forgot password' option that will help you reset it via your email. Always remember to keep your login information secure to protect your personal information.

The availability and status of your payment from California Employment Development Department (EDD) can be checked online using the UI Online system. Log into your UI Online account and you will be able to view and manage claim information, including claim payments, remaining balance, and the status of your most recent payment. Keep in mind that the time it takes to process and disburse payments may vary. Make sure your account details are up-to-date and you have completed all necessary tasks such as certification for benefits, to avoid delays.

There could be several reasons why your certification is pending review. It could be due to an issue related to your eligibility, a discrepancy in your reported income, or it could require a manual review by an EDD representative. During this time, the EDD will evaluate whether you meet all eligibility requirements for the week you've certified. It's ideal to wait until the EDD completes its review. Unfortunately, the time it takes to finish this review varies depending on the specifics of the case. The EDD will notify you about the status once the review is complete.
